The Sago Palm is a unique and beautiful plant that will grace any warmer garden, or it can be grown in a container and enjoyed in cooler gardens too. It is not really a palm tree, but it has a similar thick, hairy trunk and a rosette of feathery leaves at the top, indeed looking similar to a small palm tree. It is hardy in zone 7 and everywhere warmer, and can even take a little snow without damage. This beautiful plant will grow slowly into a small tree several feet tall, and eventually much taller, and will in time produce side plants, making a gorgeous clump that is an elegant feature in any garden. The leaves are like a bird’s feather, with stiff, thin and shiny leaflets growing of a central stem. They radiate from the top of the trunk in a symmetrical circle and resemble an elegant and special palm, although this plant is more closely related to a spruce tree than to a palm tree.

  • Graceful palm-like specimen plant
  • Grows outdoors easily in the warmer parts of the country
  • Simple to grow in pots for many years and can be overwintered indoors
  • Glossy, deep green leaves top a thick, dark-brown trunk
  • Unique ‘living fossil’ from the age of dinosaurs

Plant your Sago Palm in a sunny or lightly-shaded spot, in well-drained soil. As it matures it will produce young side-stems from the base of the main trunk, forming a broad clump that will become a stunning feature in your garden. Mature plants are very valuable, so your Sago Palm is an investment too. It has no pests or diseases and will grow with a minimum of care, being drought-resistant as well.
